Download speeds

Submitted by PopRepresentative968 t3_10zwg3t in consoles

Recently bought a Ps5 and I’m trying to download some games onto but the download speed is fluctuating between about 6-1 mbps meanwhile my Xbox is at about 90 mbps. I’ve been trying to download Hogwarts for at least 15-18 hrs and it still isn’t done. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening. I understand that others being on the internet while it’s downloading has effects it but it had the entire night to download so I don’t believe that is the problem, and our Wifi is supposed to be one of the next packages out provider has.

Yeah that happened to me too and I was thinking maybe I'm paranoid. Similar problem is happening to me while installing games from disc; if I'm connected to internet copying process slows down by a lot but if I disconnect it copies the game in usual speeds.

When download slows I try to restart my PS5, delete the download and start again then it reaches normal speeds for a while then slows down.

Have you completely closed down all games whilst downloading?
Keeping them in standby can have an effect on the download speed.

Get off the wifi and hardwire it. I've never taken more than 15 minutes to download a 100+ GB game.

The xbox will keep games running in the background, you need to go into the games management and quit them. This is most likely to be the case with the PS5 as well (I don't have one). Make sure it's not starting up things YouTube and other media streaming apps as this will definitely affect the FL speeds
